As you know unless you doze off during sermons (but don't think the ushers don't notice
), the Holy Bible states that God creates certain people just so He'll have someone to hate, and that includes tards and other crips. Sick-ular doctors think they've helped mongos evade God's wrath by helping them live longer, but God is not mocked, and He has a little surprise in store for mongo-enablers.

For People With Down Syndrome, Longer Life Has Complications
(tear-jerking lie-beral twaddle deleted)
Doctors had predicted that Mr. Thomas, born with Down syndrome, would be lucky to reach his 10th birthday. His longevity has come at a price, though.
Two years ago, it was determined that Mr. Thomas, at 48, had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, adding new challenges of dementia to his already significant disabilities.
In a cruel coincidence that scientists do not yet fully understand, research has shown that people with Down syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality, have a much higher incidence of Alzheimer’s disease at an early age. Some studies have said that 60 to 75 percent of people over age 60 with Down syndrome will have Alzheimer’s, though Dr. Ira Lott, who is in charge of the Down syndrome program at the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, said those studies have been limited in scope.
So as advances in health care have extended the average life expectancy of people with Down syndrome to more than 50 years today from 25 in 1983, doctors and family members are now struggling to cope with a double dose of disability.
